Re: Time to Order an End to Torture, i.e., The Disaster posed by the Israeli Invasion of Gaza...and SLAUGHTER of Innocent civilians (Women and Children) by the Score!
:think: Please follow John Russell's lead to embarrass these politicians into doing something. Dennis Kucinich is stepping up so what is wrong with this pol? Hmmm? Can we say AIPAC? HMMM?
Call Rep. Wexler's Office at 202-225-3121 U.S. House Switchboard and ask for Wexler's office. Simple as that! :)
A Letter to Rep. Robert Wexler From John Russell Re: Gaza Tragedy and ABSENT Mainstream Media Coverage
http://www.gazajustice.orgDear Representative Wexler,
Can you help me with this?? As a U.S. Representative who just happens to represent a population that is predominantly of the Jewish faith, you are in a unique position to intervene and assist in bringing sanity to the middle east in general and to the Israeli invasion of Gaza and all the bloodshed and illicit slaughter that this situation now entails.
You have demonstrated that you can raise your voice under certain circumstances. While some of those instances to which I refer were of relatively little import, this situation is undeniably grave and of the utmost concern to the world at large. This is an opportunity to demonstrate your heart and your courage because of the position you hold and your obvious cultural connections.
The people of GAZA NEED YOUR VOICE. Were I in your position as I have now attempted twice to do in Florida's 5th congressional district, I personally would not hesitate to speak out in order to bring sanity to the current outrage. Innocent people have now been dispatched by the score and there is no end in sight. Please speak out publicly as soon as possible.
While Gaza's Women and Children are being massacred, (Hospitals and UN Compounds attacked) America's mainstream media are implementing a Gaza Media Blackout. :nuke:
They refuse to show the deaths, destruction and humanitarian crisis. They would rather feed us distraction!
American politicians will not act to stop the war unless the people speak out. The American people will not speak out unless they know the truth. The mainstream corporate media's unethical actions are allowing the Israeli Defense Force to kill more civilians using morally reprehensible weapons and tactics.
:think: It has been reported that the Israeli Defense Forces (misnomer) exponentially better equipped than their oppositions is using illegal weapons including white phosphorous and DIME munitions in their operations in Gaza. The numbers of civilians killed and maimed is far beyond any rational moral line.
The propaganda is becoming increasingly profane in defense of Israel. In one commercial which I watched twice on MSNBC, sponsored by the International Conference of Christians and Jews in which the sponsors were requesting financial assistance for the "beseiged" people of Israel, the video displayed, was a widely played video of PALISTINIAN casualties NOT Israelis... being taken to a hospital bleeding and wounded. UNBELIEVABLE!
I have not seen this commercial played since. Perhaps someone with some sense pulled it! :think:
I personally called the number seeking donations and complained. J R :nuke:
This situation demands public courage as without public courage there will be no political courage! :patriot: Perhaps you do not want to hear this, but we must act as citizens to uphold our nation's heritage of fair play and this operation was never fair from the start and contrary to popular news reports was not started by the Hamas group. When it is least comfortable to speak is the time when you MOST NEED TO OPEN YOUR TRAP!!!!!!!!! :patriot: :bounce:
:think: The truth was reported by Professor Avi Schleim of Oxford University (on Democracy Now 1/14/09) widely regarded as the pre-eminent authority on the middle east conflict. He states that Israel violated the truce by venturing into Gaza and killing 6 members of Hamas to kick off this disaster while by Israeli official records the Hamas group had controlled its members holding them to 3 homemade rockets fired per month until that time... Hardly an all out assault on the Israeli population. J R
This sort of blasphemy should not be tolerated by the public. I wish that I had videotaped it to demonstrate the arrogance in displaying such a wildly distorted portrayal of the costs of this action and who is paying the PRICE!
Are the innocent civilian casualties of Gaza one in three a child under 15 GAZA WORTH 30 seconds of your time?? Use the below link to send a letter to big media presidents demanding an end to the Media blackout right now. We want the truth from the media!
I just sent an email via the Gaza Justice website to the media executives, it was very easy, the letter is already done, all you have to do is add your name and click send.
Please don't wait, people's lives depend on your action.

Dear john,
In less than one week, Barack Obama will become the 44th President of the United States and the Bush Administration will come to an end.
As we celebrate the beginning of what will be a transformational American presidency, it is important to recognize the numerous vital changes that will occur immediately when the 44th President takes the oath of office.
Soon after our new President departs the Capitol on January 20th, a bevy of new Executive Orders will likely be issued that will undo many damaging Bush policies. At the same time, critical new safeguards and progressive policies will become law, likely including:
- closing of the prison at Guantanamo Bay,
- restoring Habeas Corpus for detainees,
- renewing America's commitment to the Geneva Convention, and
- limiting the use of signing statements.
Above all, President-elect Obama has promised to issue an Executive Order banning the use of torture. The use of torture including waterboarding, by our government is a black mark upon the conscience of our nation and a policy that has made us less safe. Just today, the Washington Post outlines how the torture of the suspected "20th" 9/11 hijacker has tainted evidence and made prosecution more difficult. The reversal of this Bush Administration policy will renew the moral authority that our nation rightly deserves overseas and will make us more successful in the war on terror.
The importance of our victory in November cannot be understated. Barack Obama's leadership will carry us not only through an economic recovery, but also through a constitutional recovery. His work will systematically restore honor and purpose to our federal government.
As you know, I worked closely with President-elect Obama in his campaign. I am convinced he will restore our commitment to human rights, civil rights, and the overarching principles of our Constitution.
Tuesday will be joyous, but at the same time we will soberly reflect on the difficult challenges before our nation. In the days and weeks ahead, we will deliver actual, tangible change. Change we have been fighting for.
Thank you for standing with me. I intend to continue to act as your progressive voice in Congress. Under this President we finally have a chance to deliver on our goals and realize our ideals for our nation and our community. :rofl:
Stay in touch and stay active.
With warm regards,
Congressman Robert Wexler
